I'm renovating my basement. The "family room" and "bonus room" are not really finished, so I'm not stuck keeping them as is. The red "x" marks are utilities and I really don't want to spend the money to move them (furnace and pump are in one area/ furnace and water heater and electrical are in the other). I want to add a small workout room- big enough for a treadmill, large cable machine and rower. I want to add a small bathroom with 3/4th shower. I'd also like a small laundry room, nothing crazy. The remainder of the space I would like to keep as an open entertaining area- enough room for a sectional for watching movies on a big screen, a kitchenette/ wet bar, and a few games- including a full size pool table and 16-20 foot shuffleboard. Research says I need a minimum of 14 feet on the short side of the pool table, but the main wall splits the basement down the middle at 13 feet. How would you arrange this basement to fit a bathroom, exercise room, laundry room and entertaining space big enough for pool table and shuffleboard?

By "full size" do you mean 8' or 9'? @decoenthusiaste's guide is correct. You can skimp on the width but you will need a short cue. (And you won't need a short cue ALL the time, just when you're making a shot straight across the table and the cue ball is close to the edge).

You also need to indicate where the load bearing walls are. How much (if any) of the unfinished storage do you want to use?

You are asking a lot of your basement. Workout equipment seems like it shouldn't take up much space but IT DOES. Especially "large cable machines." (DH nixed getting one of those due to the crazy amount of space it would require). Same with shuffleboard tables - they take up precious wall space that really can't be used for anything else, and you need 3' on either end of them to play. So you're looking at 22'-26' of wall, and it can't be in the same space as your pool table since your 13' width isn't big enough for both.

The pool table & movie space could fit in the family & bonus/office. We had a tiny movie room in our basement - it was about 16'x13' (about what you'd have once you account for the pool table). We had 4 theater seats and an 85" TV, and that maximized the space. A sectional may be a tight fit for you.

You may be able to do a walk-up bar in the corner by the stair wall behind your theater seating, but I think a bar with seating will be tough to fit.

Are you planning on breaking up your slab to put in all the plumbing you're talking about? Or do you have rough ins?

Honestly, best advice I can give you is to use some graph paper, draw everything out (including the space needed to use it), cut it all out and start arranging things.

1. Workout equipmnet takes a lot of space so I guess figure out what pieces tyou rally need and start there if the workout space is important to you .I have ahom gym but still go to the gym often I find that keeps me motivted. As for the pool table we have a 7 x10 table it needs to have 5' all around it so that is 17 x20' My gym has a treadmill a cable machine a workout bench and a set of freeweights the space it 7x 17 ' and the is tight .We also have a media space with 2 sofas and 2 chairs and a 60" TV this space with all those things is 33 x17' So maybe try laying out that stuff in your space at leaast then you have some idea of where the pieces will go.Maybe a foosball table instead of shuffleboard it will need 7 x9' I do agree the easiest is a to scale plan with all the pieces you want cut out in the same scale and move them around keeping in mind all the spaces needed around everything/
